Designed by famous British Columbian architect Francis M. Rattenbury, Rossland's historic Bank of Montreal building was constructed between 1898 and 1900 to reflect the wealth of the town's booming gold mines. Rossland's most prominent building, this architectural gem of the Romanesque Revival style is situated at the heart of the community. Providing 150 feet of commercial frontage on two street-facing facades, the locally quarried granite foundation and massive brick walls reflect the paired strength and elegance of this style and are a testament to its timeless craftsmanship. The building has undergone extensive restoration over the preceding 15 years to preserve its historical value and appeal, including upgrades to all of its major mechanical systems, and a return to function of its four vaults. Constructed as a multi-use building, today its three storeys (plus basement) provide 15 leasable commercial and professional office spaces. Located just five minutes from Canada's internationally recognized Red Mountain ski resort, this property embodies Rossland's rich history and offers an invaluable opportunity to invest in the community's promising future.
